Jessica began her yoga practice in 2013 at the same location that is now Prasada Yoga Studio. A back injury in her early 30's that left her frustrated and facing surgery is what prompted her to "give yoga a try". Yoga helped tremendously with her recovery, but most importantly it opened up the connection and concept of healing the physical, emotional and mental body.
Jessica completed her 220-hour yoga teachers training at the Yoga Connection in 2015 and began teaching classes in 2016 in Oriental. When the studio space where it all started became available in June of 2023, she knew it was her opportunity to give back to others and decided to open Prasada Yoga Studio. Her hope is that everyone may be touched by yoga and its healing qualities. She honors her mentor and dear friend, Susan Koepp, as well her teacher, Martha Catz for giving her the extra push and encouragement that we all need some days.

Yoga has been a part of my life for over twenty five years. I discovered it as a young mom l ooking to get in shape. After taking my first class, I quickly realized that yoga wasn’t just about stretching my body. Yoga was a way to connect body, mind and spirit. My first teacher, Gail, encouraged me to pursue my 200 hour yoga teacher training, as a way to deepen my practice, and in 2008, I received my yoga teacher certification from Yoga Flow. I am passionate about yoga and love sharing this beautiful practice with others. For me, yoga is about using the breath as a vehicle to stretch and strengthen the body, mind and spirit through a vinyasa flow style. Yoga truly is for “every body”, and my classes are accessible to all levels.
